It is possible to add the new PFA polarization voltage circuit to v1 tinyboxes internally, so that v1 tinyboxes can also support actives.

Is it a TB version 1? Above is a quote from a closed topic in the Retail Section. I know Jon made many Nbox supported Tinyboxes...and if you now have the PFA internal I guess it's just a matter of a new pigtail with the correct Nbox Binder connectors.

Hey Jon,Thanks for the reply on the board.I would like to order a pair of IPA's with the stereo mini-jack in/out and 3 way gain switch....can the minijacks be placed either end..one for-in the other-out ??...I don't mind a plastic end if that is what you will use...it makes for a neat "inline" small pre which is what I want.In any case please reply and tell me how to describe this on your website when ordering....or PM me.( am happy to have a very short stereo minijack>>minixlr cable made as a go-between if it is possible for the reason you mention.)Thanks

How do these work with the KCY cable? The KCY is a Y-cable that connects to two caps, so that would mean you only need one IPA for a set of two MK caps? And what was the reason again why there can only be an XLR+1/8" output but not just a 1/8" output? Is it due to design/pre-make parts or some other reason?

Here's mine, next to my tinybox for size comparison. Click on the picture for a bigger version.

Thanks for the pic!

So it looks like you use a single IPA with a KCY (? of is that a "Nbob" cable?) cable to power two MK caps. I see there is a 1/8" cable plugged in on the end that the KCY cable plugs into the IPA, and is that the XLR output on the other end? It looks like nothing is plugged in on that end in the pic.

That's an NBob cable, but I see no reason why KCY would work any different if you order the KCY version of the IPA. And yes, you don't need to use the XLR output at all. You can just use the 3.5mm output to feed a portable recorder like the M10. I have yet to run this setup in the field, though (just got the IPA in the mail yesterday).

Thanks, that helps a lot. But does the IPA provide phantom power? I think Jon said in a different thread that it does not? And do you know how easy/hard it is to replace batteries?
